Smart enough for school, yet casual enough for weekend shopping trips it’s hard to imagine an occasion when your doll wouldn’t want to wear this fun, preppy-style cardigan.

The front and sleeves feature an easy to knit two color pattern. The back of the cardigan is ribbed to ensure a snug yet easy fit.

The pattern includes several options: a sleeveless vest for warmer days, sleeves for cooler days and a choice of lengths for the bodice of the cardigan.

With so many options in one pattern, this is one cardigan that you will knit again and again.
Please note:
The two-color pattern is easy to knit even if you have never knitted with more than one color yarn at a time. The Preppy Cardigan PDF pattern includes a full step by step photo tutorial, together with a 6 page printable summary. The summary has check boxes against each row so you can easily check your progress.
